Maturity is realizing your parents’ embarassing boomer music taste is actually good.

It’s a joke. It’s implying that the porn is so naughty the necessary age would be even higher, but you’re probably not actually supposed to believe it.

I’ve heard that before about Breadtube.

Jingchu is an old name for the Hubei province, I think.

Posting an article that echoes a narrative I have observed on Twitter, just to see what people think.

Inb4 “OMG this article is so Sinophobic, it takes all sorts of things about modern China and makes them look worse than they are” - I knooooow. Try to shrug that off if you can.

Probably something along these lines:

Ronald Reagan = someone who pretended to be formulating an alternative to “the system”, but was actually far more successful in working for its goals than the establishment in his time.

Leftist = someone who pretends to be formulating an alternative to “the system”, but is actually far more successful in working for its goals than the establishment in his time.

Therefore Ronald Reagan is his time’s equivalent of a leftist.

EDIT: I’d posted an archive link that I didn’t know if it worked, but never mind that, some helpful guy transcribed the article.

I think my country is too poor to have had that in the 00s haha. I know Starbucks, but I imagine that’s not what you mean.

This might be wrong, but I remember Trotsky at some point bringing up that Russia was in the Asiatic state of production at some point, saying it was like China where the power is more centralized in the figure of the sovereign who delegates to handpicked provincial governors instead of local power having local sovereignty like in Western Europe. Regardless, I think there is something to be said about China and Russia being alike one another and unlike the West at that point in history.
